Try:

    extern ULONG RangeSeed;
    extern UWORD RangeRand( UWORD );	/* A.K.A. RangeRan */

    /*
     *  RangeRand -- ranged random function
     *
     *  INPUT
     *      range: 1 <= range < 65536
     *
     *  OUTPUT
     *      random number: 0 <= range < range
     */

Link w/ amiga.lib


This was written by Amiga's "Mgr. of Game Software" for the old Amiga
but didn't make it into the roms because we moved away from that focus.

I know it's in my copy of amiga.lib, and I suspect it's in yours too.
Let me know (via email) if it's not.  I can well imagine that it isn't
documented anywhere.
